3 Rules for Successful Precasting

There are three rules for successful precasting:

  1. Weight/size—the weight and size of the unit cast must be something that you have the equipment to handle and move and it can't be too big to move into place at the job site.

  2. Pull-out—the shape of the precast unit must be such that it can be stripped from the mold or the molds must have the flexibility to handle the shape.

  3. Repetition—the more times you will make the same unit, the more effective precasting is as a manufacturing process, although some custom jobs also lend themselves to precasting, especially countertops and furniture.
